Open in Pepper →A Pot Of Melted Cheddar And Beer
Beer cheese is the kind of thing you make once and get asked about forever. It's cheddar, cream cheese, and a little beer, stirred until it's smooth enough to coat a pretzel and sharp enough that nobody needs a second dip to decide.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the game's on, when the neighbors are coming over, or when dinner is just a board of bread, apples, and something hot to dip them in.
Every recipe here is a real pot of beer cheese: the hot Beer Cheese Dip with cream cheese and shredded cheddar, a Slow-cooker Beer Cheese you can leave alone, The BEST Beer Cheese Dip with sharp, white, and Velveeta, a thickened version with cornstarch and flour, and a Torpedo Extra IPA Beer Cheese with aged white cheddar.
Quick Tips
- 1
Shred your own cheese
Bagged shreds are coated to keep from clumping, and that coating turns grainy. Grate a 1-pound block yourself for a smoother melt.
- 2
Let the beer simmer first
Cook the beer 2 to 3 minutes before the cheese goes in so the raw, yeasty edge cooks off and the flavor stays mellow.
- 3
Add cheese off heat
Pull the pot off the burner and stir in the cheese a handful at a time. High heat breaks the sauce and leaves oil on top.
- 4
Thin it as it sits
Beer cheese tightens up as it cools, so stir in a splash of beer or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to bring it back.
